Overview:
War has come.
Nya’s the one who brought it. And the people love her for it.
With Baseer in shambles and Geveg now an impenetrable military stronghold, Nya and the Underground have fled to a safer location—without Tali. Nya is guilt-ridden over leaving her sister behind and vows to find her, but with the rebellion in full swing and refugees flooding the Three Territories, she fears she never will.
The Duke, desperate to reclaim the throne as his own, has rallied his powerful army. And they are on the move, destroying anyone who gets in the way.
To save her sister, her family, and her people, Nya needs to stay ahead of the Duke’s army and find a way to build one of her own. Past hurts must be healed, past wrongs must be righted, and Nya must decide: Is she merely a pawn in the rebellion, a symbol of hope—or is she ready to be a hero?
My Review:
5 Stars
This was a phenomenal way to finish an epic trilogy. Nya is positively amazing in this last chapter of her story. So many choices to make, so many lines to cross. This book really defines the beauty of flawed humanity. Nya is constantly having to choose if the end justify the means, if eventing isn't as black and white as everyone makes it seem. There were so many plot twists, I'm pretty sure I got whiplash reading one after another. This book was truly the best of them all. The stakes are higher in this book, the magic and adventure are more intense, the characters and plot are grittier and the actual writing has surpassed anything Hardy has written. My hat is off to you Janice Hardy.
